Brands, agencies, and events haven't been able to activate influencers to create content and a branded conversation safely, easily, and effectively. Agencies and other influencer marketing companies are unable to guarantee 100% brand safety, full demographic targeting, timed release of messaging, and direct access to the influencers on their phones. The result is a mishmash of firms that are essentially doing sponsorships instead of proving a digital media buy.
In 2014 it is estimated that over $19 billion was spent in native advertising, and is expected to grow to over $28 billion by 2015. Our platform allows for direct, in-stream native advertising on Twitter, Instagram, Vine, and Snapchat.
We created an iOS app that acts as an influencer marketplace where they can monetize their following 24/7 with direct deals from advertisers, apps, and CPC offerings. With our patent-pending technology, influencers are able to share 100% brand-safe messaging that is opt-in and organic.
Brand and agencies need to spend a portion of their yearly budget on digital and social.
- We provide our technology and network at set CPMs
- We get an insertion order
- We run the campaign
- We get paid upon completion
Our margins are 60 - 70%
We have created the Soho House of social. By throwing the largest social media events in the world we have built the most loyal base of influencers.
We have a support staff that lives and breathes social influence. We are also developing proprietary software that monitors social networks, analyzes historical data, and alerts us when new hyper engaged accounts appear.
iOS App that has been in the app store since April.
We have a gallery creation platform where over 600 content creators from around the world create galleries for our platform based on their area of expertise.
Our influencers then choose the most captivating content with their fan bases from our iOS app, desktop or mobile responsive web platform.
The Influential Network is the only platform for publishers by publishers. We have taken our years of experience as publishers and built the only platform on the market that was built with a mobile first mentality. We have built a platform that we enjoy using.
